Gustavo Silva is a Technical Lead with nine years of hands-on experience modernizing backend systems and guiding engineering teams toward Go-based, microservices architectures. Currently at AUTODOC Portugal, he advises on technology choices and leads Go engineers through migrations from monoliths to cloud-native services using gRPC, Pub/Sub, PostgreSQL and Google Cloud. His background spans reliability work for large-scale online systems (including a stint supporting multiplayer services for a AAA games studio) and integrations across complex e-commerce ecosystems on AWS. Gustavo combines leadership with deep implementation experience—he’s shipped production Go services, designed integrations with enterprise systems, and moved teams toward scalable architectures. He’s also contributed to the open-source CryptPad project by refining Brazilian Portuguese localization, showing attention to user-facing detail beyond core engineering. Based in Tomar, Portugal, he pairs technical pragmatism with a track record of translating operational needs into reliable, maintainable systems.
